Qin State, Xianyang.

In October, the days get shorter and shorter. This year's harvest in Qin was very good, the wind and rain were smooth, there was no impact of the war, and the hard work of the farmers brought a bumper harvest. Carefully calculated, if it were not for the impact of last year's drought, the harvest of the Qin State in the past two years would have been enough to fill the treasury.

Since the beginning of the previous year, the Qin State has not moved a single soldier. Even if Wu Anjun Bai Qi led the army to repair the Great Wall, there was no major war. The confrontation and scuffle that took place last year between the three kingdoms of Qi, Chu, and Yan did not affect the Qin state in the slightest. The morning bell and the dusk drum made the Qin people somewhat enjoy the present day.

The biggest threat, Zhao State, has been holding its troops, and South Korea is also exceptionally quiet, and the Qin people do not want to break this peace, so they consciously ignore the reality of Qin's concession in Yanmen County and Wuguan in the hands of the enemy.

However, what the people of Li didn't know was that the upper echelons of the Qin State were ready to move. Originally, according to the established plan, Qi's attack on Chu was the first step, Wei's timely intervention to create friction was the second, and Qin's surprise invasion of Ying was the third. Unexpectedly, Yan Guo inexplicably inserted in, breaking the original rhythm.

As a last resort, the State of Qi changed its strategy and turned to encroach on the State of Chu step by step. This made the Qin State very depressed, but it was a good thing for the people of Limin.

In the Xianyang Palace, the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State concluded that the Yan State did not see through their own strategy, but subconsciously suppressed the Qi State. As the saying goes, the enemy of your enemy is your friend. From the perspective of the Yan State, it is not necessarily good for the Yan State if the Chu State is strong. But the state of Chu weakened. Yan Guo will definitely be unlucky. Because this will give Qi a chance to expand and increase its strength.

Zhao's attitude undoubtedly revealed this, and it was rumored that Shangqing Lin Xiangru Jian watched the confrontation between Yan and Qi with a cold eye. After all, the weaker the Yan State is, the more it can only rely on the Zhao State. If the Qi State is also weak, it will either become a vassal of the Zhao State or be annexed. King Qin didn't know. Zhao Guo will be a little disappointed when he learns that the confrontation between Qi and Yan is just a false alarm!

Although the common people of the Qin State hoped that there would be no war, the nobles from the upper echelons were eager to try to ask for war. In particular, ministers who did not know that the Qin State and the Qi State had secretly reached a consensus, when they saw that the Chu State was mired in a quagmire and could not extricate themselves, often built the King of Qin to pass south through the Chu State. It's just that such an idea was rejected by King Qin without hesitation. Low-key, everything Qin does now must be low-key.

Han Wangran is also well versed in this and is immersed in development. Qi, Chu, and Yan love to toss no matter how much they toss! Even if Zhao and Wei joined them, the chaos would just be greater. The more quiet Qin Guo was, there was no movement. The calmer Han Wangran became. Zhao Guo was unwilling to be lonely and was busy expanding his territory, but he didn't see the risks involved, and he couldn't find a way to achieve quick success.

Just like the current King of Qin - King Qin Zhao, the national strength of various countries in the original history was far below that of Qin, and if Qin had a clear idea, there was every hope of dominating the world. But in fact, he was eager for quick success, and in the end he got some small profits. but not a single nation was destroyed.

Zhao Guo, Handan.

Qi has been in the limelight lately. stirred up the Central Plains. Whether it was a surprise attack on the Chu State or a-for-tat confrontation with the Yan army, this was not in line with the previous style of the Qi State. However, this also gave Zhao a pretext, and in the sense of righteousness, King Zhao decided to send troops to teach Qi a lesson.

For sending troops, Zhao Guoqun's ministers were divided into two camps. Conservatives thought that winter was approaching and supplies were unfavorable; The main battle faction thought that the soldiers were fast and fast. Consciously control the scale of the war, and let the Qi State be more restrained.

Therefore, a month after the strike of the Qi State, the army of the Zhao State quickly assembled and headed for the border of Zhao and Qi. The leader is the little-known national captain Zhao Hao. Qi Guo reacted much more cautiously. On the one hand, the king of Qi sent Tian Dan as a general and sent 50,000 troops to defend the defense line of the river (that is, the Yellow River), and on the other hand, the king of Qi sent envoys to Handan to ask questions.

In just five days, the envoys of Qi arrived in Handan. The envoy was the high-ranking and powerful Doctor Diao Bo in the Qi State.

Mink Bo knew that every day of delay would make the Qi country more dangerous. The worst thing is that Qi Guo didn't know at all that he didn't offend Zhao Guo, and Zhao Guoxing moved everyone to commit a crime, what kind of madness he had. For Qi Guo, this is a completely unwarranted disaster. The joy of stealing the two counties of Chu a few months ago was instantly washed away.

In terms of national strength, Zhao Guo threw out several streets of Qi State. In just over ten years, the overlord of the world commanded by the State of Qi, and the glorious years of the two emperors of the East and the West along with the Qin State were still completely lost. What Mink Bo needs to know most is why Zhao Guo put pressure on himself, so that he can prescribe the right medicine when he meets King Zhao.

Mink Bo found the easiest way, and that was to find the eunuch Ling Miaoxian. If you find a similar Qing Lin, you are likely to eat a soft nail. As for Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng and Xinping Jun Lian Po, they are counting on something smaller. Miao Xian is different, as the leader of the eunuchs, he must know the reason. What's more, because of Lin Xiangru's relationship, he also became King Zhao's confidant. If he is asked to speak for Qi Guo, it is very hopeful and useful.

The only regret is that Miao Xian has lived in the palace for a long time to serve King Zhao, so he actually doesn't have much time to go out. However, this is not difficult for Mink Bo, the huge profit of ten gold was smashed, and Miao Xian, who was in the palace, finally agreed to come out to meet him.

In a restaurant in Handan, Mink Bo said in a very flattering tone: "The adults work day and night, and they are really a model for the people in the palace!" As a foreign minister, Bo is also very admirable. Come, I'll toast you! ”

A smile appeared on Miao Xian's face, and he replied, "Doctor, you really like to laugh." You and other courtiers have the talent to stabilize the country, and you are doing great things for the country and the people. The old slave will only serve people, and will only serve the king, and compared with you, it is far behind! ”

Diao Bo shook his head and retorted with a smile: "Lin Shangqing came out of your mansion. Even if it's a Maxima, we need a Bole like you. Ha ha! ”

Miao Xian burst into laughter. Recommending Lin Xiangru to King Zhao is the greatest pride of his life. No one thought that the person who was still a small doorman would actually be in a high position and become a guest. For Mink's compliment, Miao Xian gladly accepted it.

As soon as he heard that it was the envoy of the Qi State, the Shangda Doctor Mink Bo, who came to find him, Miao Xian immediately guessed the other party's intention. Now the national captain Zhao Hao and Tian Dan's army face each other across the river. Although there is no conflict between the two sides. But no one can tell when the Zhao army will withdraw. The arrival of Zhao Jun is much more than what Yan Jun brings. The other party must have been the cause of the inquiry.

Speaking of the cause, the eunuch Ling Miao Xian really knew. But it doesn't mean that Miao Xian himself must sue the other party. As long as the other party is smart enough, he should understand what he means.

After saying some common words, Mink Bo's expression became very solemn, and he said: "My lord, Bo has come thousands of miles away, so what is the matter, can the adults know?" ”

Miao Xian pretended not to know and shook his head.

"Zhao Hao of your country led an army of 30,000 troops to be stationed on the north bank of the river. caused panic among the people of Qi people. Don't say you don't know. ”

Miao Xian actually sighed, and said a little heavily: "The old slave really knows about this matter. He said no more.

Mink's teeth itched, and the other party said half of his words, and suddenly stopped talking, what does this mean! After handing over the ten pairs of white bi gold hundred taels, Miao Xian nodded with a satisfied expression and said, "Why does the doctor have to spend so much!" ”

Mink Bo secretly despised the other party in his heart, but he was very humble on his lips. Smiled and persuaded: "A little heart! When he came, the king repeatedly explained. Qi Guo has always respected Zhao Guo and has never taken offense. This tense situation must have been misunderstood! If you have a little mustard, please say a few more kind words in front of King Zhao! ”

After receiving a generous gift, Miao Xian was very polite in his words. He smiled and waved his hand and replied, "A few days ago." The army of Yan is also stationed on the north bank of the river, and your country has also sent a large army to confront it, but is there such a thing? ”

Mink Bo's heart sank, and he replied: "But there is such a thing! "Could it be that Yan Guo was forced to withdraw his troops, which made Yan Guo lose face. Zhao Guo, the boss, can't stand it. Want to stand up for your allies? Diao Bo thought to himself. This shouldn't be! At the beginning, Zhao Guo didn't move at all! What's more, it was Yan Guo who took the lead in provoking the dispute in the first place.

"Doesn't the king of Qi know that the current queen of Yan is the daughter of my king?" Miao Xian pretended to be angry.

Of course, the king of Qi knew that Yan and Zhao were another kind of relationship outside the alliance, but Diao Bo felt that Zhao was making a big fuss. Without enough interests, who will stand out for other countries. Moreover, this time Zhao Guo sent troops and did not bring Yan Guo at all. According to normal logic, Yan Guo lost face and had to get it back on Qi Guo. Now that Yan Guo is not participating, how can he find face.

However, these words were not easy to put on the bright side, so he had to pretend to be confused and asked, "However, last time, the Yan Kingdom was not attacked by my Qi State at all!" We're just digging ditches along the river! No conflict broke out between the two countries. ”

Miao Xian sneered in his heart, "Of course no conflict broke out!" How else can you stand in front of me so confidently?! The so-called loss of face is just an excuse. A qiē is all about interests! ”

However, on the surface, Miao Xian still pretended to be surprised, "Then this time your country also went to dig a ditch by the river?" The implication is that Qi Guo is not willing to lag behind every time and fights-for-tat.

Mink Bo scolded secretly, "You're going to hit my doorstep, don't you allow me to defend myself?" You put the army on the border, as long as you are not confused, you know that you are eyeing the tiger, and the comer is not good! It's really stupid for me to Qi Guo! ”

But the smile on his face was even stronger, and he explained: "There are too many armies in your country, and I am afraid that if your country hunts, it will drive its prey to the other side of the river, so I will help one or two." Anyway, most of the army is nearby, and they are very familiar with the surrounding terrain. ”

Miao Xian said "oh", no longer with a cynical expression, but retreated from the subordinates, and said mysteriously: "It was all a joke just now, don't blame the doctor!" ”

Mink Bo smiled, and he had already scolded in his heart, but he put on an expression that I already knew, and said: "Bo is also from a poor family, so he can afford to joke." Just now, Bo was joking. Now, adults can get down to business, right? ”

This gift was also given, and no matter what Miao Xian said, he changed his doubts to solve them.

"Doctor, which country do you think is the most restless in the world?" Miao Xian said such a sentence inexplicably.

Diao Bo was a little unsure of what he meant, could it be that Zhao Guo was hinting that his Qi State was not safe enough during this time?

Miao Xian asked himself and replied: "It's the Qin State!" The Qin state has Bao Ju Yunei. The heart of the world. A few years ago, relying on his own national strength, he has been fighting in the east and west, and fighting in the south and north, which has caused unrest in the world. I, the Zhao State, the Yan State, the Korean State, and the Wei State, are allied together to contain the development of the Qin State. Doctor. Do you say, is it right or wrong for us to do this? ”

Where does Mink Bo dare to say right and wrong, his attitude represents the attitude of Qi State, and he can't take a position lightly on this kind of big thing. Therefore, he could only say: "The Qin State is indeed a wolf with ambitions!" ”

Miao Xian nodded, and said: "As the country of tigers and wolves, the Qin State has no faith, and the Doctor has never remembered that just because the eldest son of the King of Qin was assassinated, the Qin State killed the proton of the Yang Wenjun of the Chu State in Xianyang. Because of this, he destroyed the alliance with the Chu State and burned the Yiling Tomb. The state of Chu is afraid that it no longer believes in the state of Qin, and the king of our country is worried about the people of the world and wants to unite all the countries to fight against the state of Qi. ”

After a pause, Miao Xian looked at Diao Bo with interest and continued: "But your country has not expressed its attitude, we don't want to attack Qin at the most critical time. Your country has come out of thin air to cause trouble in our rear. So. You should know what's going on this time, doctor. ”

Diao Bo nodded, according to Miao Xian's statement, Zhao Guo's move this time should be "forcing the palace". If they had really discussed a crusade against the Qin State, then the Qi State, which had not expressed its position, would become a potential threat. No one knows whether the Qin State will take the opportunity to win over the Qi State and let the Qi State make trouble in the rear.

Mink Bo would not leak the fact that Qi had reached an agreement with Qin. He just said with a somewhat solemn face: "After the Yan Kingdom invaded Qi, my Qi country's national strength was weak. If the laborers go on an expedition, I am afraid that they will be overwhelmed. Instead of causing chaos to the coalition forces, it is better to "Diao Bo did not continue, but Miao Xian knew what he meant.

"Isn't your country afraid of our suspicions? Once there is suspicion. It will be difficult to cooperate in the future. What Miao Xian said meant something.

Mink Bo didn't understand this truth. But the Qin Dynasty did not benefit the Qi State at all. If Qi does not agree, it may be besieged by the rest of the country. It's so hard! Unless the Qin State is exposed, the two countries will join hands to fight against the four kingdoms of Han, Zhao, Chu, and Yan, and even add a Wei state.

Just when Mink Bo weighed how to explain it, Miao Xian said directly, "So, your country is going to strictly maintain neutrality?" Neither participated in the invasion of Qin, nor did he help the Qin State? ”

Mink Bo suddenly realized that this should be a temptation by Zhao Guo. After all, Wei should not have betrayed Qi so quickly. The matter of uniting to defeat Qin is mostly the proposition of Zhao. After a series of wars, countries are recuperating. It is difficult for countries like South Korea and Wei to cooperate with Zhao wholeheartedly. This is an opportunity that Qi can take advantage of.

After figuring out this truth, Mink's attitude became firm. He said earnestly: "The state of Chu is the mortal enemy of my Qi country, according to reason, my country of Qi should fight with the state of Chu endlessly, unless the state of Chu apologizes to my country of Qi!" However, as King Zhao thought, the Qin State wants to dominate the world for a long time, if it is for the great cause of cutting down Qin, my Qi State is willing to give up fighting and turn into jade silk, provided that the Chu State also wants to cut down Qin, and is responsible for the supply of our Qi army. Otherwise, I am willing to use the sword soldiers and sit back and watch you rise to power in Xianyang! ”

Miao Xian nodded with satisfaction, this was an unexpected gain. At the moment, it is just the rhetoric of the doctor Ermine Bo, if the king of Qi really agrees with it, he has made a great contribution. What I said just now was approved by King Zhao. Otherwise, even if the other party gives him a heavy gift, he will resolutely refuse it.

After finding out the true purpose of Zhao, Mink Bo ordered people to rush to Linzi urgently, and on the other hand, he asked to meet with the prime minister, Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, Shangqing, Lin Xiangru, Xin Pingjun, and General Lian Po, hoping that they would lobby King Zhao and not cause a conflict between the two sides.

As far as Qi is concerned, if there is really a matter of the Six Kingdoms attacking Qin, it is just a formality. In the face of interests, there will definitely not be the scene of a concerted agreement like two years ago. How to weaken each other and strengthen oneself openly is the only and first starting point for countries when making decisions. Counting on other people's selflessness, bloody sacrifices, and their own gains, the result is that everyone is doing nothing. Mink Bo believes that those who are as smart as Han Wangran and greedy as King Wei will not fall for King Zhao.

Diao Bo's decisiveness surprised Zhao Guo very much, Miao Xian only knew that King Zhao wanted to force Qi to make a statement, but he didn't know that King Zhao actually wanted Qi to remain neutral, and Zhao was also famous for beating Qi from time to time. However, King Zhao also saw the move, since the Qi State agreed to join in, then it would not be bad for him to pit the Qi State in the name of the alliance leader.

King Zhao was puzzled, Qi Guoming knew that this was a pit, how could he dare to jump in without hesitation. Could it be that the monarchs and ministers of the Qi Kingdom are afraid of the prestige of the alliance? It seems that yes, with the help of South Korea, Wei Guo, and Yan Guo, Zhao Guo's heart feels really good!

Now that the State of Qi has succumbed, the strategy of the State of Zhao has one more choice - to hold the State of Qi hostage and join forces to defeat Qin. However, in this case, his original plan to force the Chu State to attack the Qi State will be stranded. Whether the Chu State will have some opposition to it, the Zhao State needs to take care of it. At the first time, King Zhao ordered 800 li to urgently inform Zhao Hao on the front line to suspend the operation and abandon the existing siege plan. And Linzi, the country of Qi, is also very entangled at this time. (To be continued......)
